My overarching interest is enhancing policy and practice through prevention and early intervention research, with the ultimate goal of improving the outcomes of those facing disadvantage. I have gathered considerable expertise in the main components of prevention and early intervention research including: programme logic modelling; co-design of interventions; implementation science; and using randomised controlled trials to evaluate programme effectiveness. To achieve this, I work extensively with a wide range of stakeholders including communities, policymakers, practitioners, children and their parents. Furthermore, I use a diverse range of quantitative and qualitative research methods within these social and educational contexts.
